OK, but what terms, specifically, would you suggest/approve?

I'm seeing a number of people urgig the IL to become more modern, or something, but no specific terms they want the IL to adopt. Details matter.

People are ignoring the Brown lawsuit.

Scholarships would be a place to start. That would also allow for NIL collectives to not count against finaid.

Also - perhaps a thought about paring down the number of teams so that the major division 1 programs have similar resources to other schools - and aren't hamstrung by those sports which are cost sinkholes. Bus travel is enforced from Boston to Upstate NY because Harvard can't justify spending such funds for every team that plays at Cornell... or vice versa. But is it really right for 6-5 football and basketball players to have to travel 6 hours by coach when other schools like BC can charter to Syracuse?

There are other rules - like the prohibition on multi-team basketball tournaments in consecutive years.

It could also free up funds to pay for opponents to visit Jadwin or participate in multi-team tourneys instead of complaining "nobody wants to play us"

But no, the powers that be are infallible.
